The trolling may have occurred after Rich attempted to boost his follower count with the promise that he would release new music. However, according to DJ Akademiks, the plan did the opposite. Rich’s Instagram followed count dropped from 7.7 million followers to 7.6 million. 6ix9ine commented, “If rich the kid drops to 6 million I’ll literally cut my hair off.”

The move is the latest in a series of jabs between the two after Rich was named in a lawsuit over $234,000 worth of unpaid jewelry. 6ix9ine jumped on the news, prompting Rich to challenge him to a jewelry battle.
